A GitHub action that takes ESLint results from a JSON file and adds them as annotated pull request comments
ESLint Annotate from Report JSON
Version 2.0.0
Description
Analyzes an ESLint a report JSON file and posts the results.
On pull_request annotates the pull request diff with warnings and errors

On push creates a ESLint Report Analysis with a summary of errors and warnings, including links to the line numbers of the violations.

Why another ESLint action?
The others I tried to use ran ESLint in NodeJS themselves. With this action, I can take an ESLint report generated from the command line and process the results.
This allows for more flexibility on how ESLint is run. This action is agnostic enough to handle different configurations, extensions, etc. across projects without making assumptions on how ESLint should be run.
